Surjadi to open Bulungan Fair

JAKARTA (JP): A festival for youths is to be held at the Bulungan Youth Center from Dec. 29 to Dec. 31.

The festival is meant to return the center to its original function as the center of youth activities.

The youth center, adjacent to Senior High School 70, was constructed in the early 1970s. In its initial years, the center was very popular in South Jakarta and used for activities related to youths, including drama and music.

Youth activities have been decreasing and the center has rarely been used lately.

The festival's public relations officer, Abi Hasantosa, said Tuesday that Governor Surjadi Soedirdja is expected to open the festival. The ceremony will take place at 9 a.m on Dec. 29. (sur)
